Finally finished my first Ballerina

I've had a crazy couple of months. My mom is not feeling well, at 82 she's done something to aggravate her back. She's got severe arthritis and can hardly stand to move. Lots of trips to urgent care while her doc was on holidays. In the middle of that she had pain in her mouth and had to have a trip to the Dentist. So needless to say there hasn't been a lot of time to play.
She's on some pain meds now and we're hoping they can help her recover a bit.
My sister came in from Regina on Good Friday so I have some more hourly help too. And it's so wonderful to see her. We have been playing with puppets. She's a school teacher, special needs highschool. Although we usually make a project she can teach her kids, this time the puppet is for her friends. They're HUGE Sask. Riders fans. CFL Football for those who don't know. Anyway her puppet is the 13th man....

Sorry no pics...
I gave her the pattern for my puppet and she went crazy! The puppet was done in a few hours.

While she did that, I needle felted some hair on my blue ballerina. And with a beaded organza flower for her hair she is now complete.

I listed her in my etsy shop this morning. I hope to play some more this week, as I took some vacation to help mom and spend some time with my sister. Tomorrow we're off to see the Hunger Games again!! Love the movie and the books!

ABOUT ME

My interest in dolls as art started quite a few years ago and I now work in clay, paperclay, paper mache, cloth, and apoxie.
My dolls have become part of collections world-wide and are available for sale on etsy. Some bought under the name Little Bit Wired but all signed Nancy Perennec
I like to post works in progress and tutorials. Sharing my interest and experience with others through my blog or teaching is something I wish I could do full time, but alas....
